Most of the negative comments to my postings come from people who don’t read the entire post / article. They scan the headline, maybe read one or two paragraphs and then lash out with some kind of vitriol. Aside from the trolls (they don’t last long here) the responses are telling. Unless you state something similar to the mainstream media narrative, you are a radical; and irresponsible fool, who needs to be “put in his place”. Maybe. Here’s another opinion. Check it out.
Mainstream media Government approved propaganda for the masses. Alt-Left and Alt-Right Elements of real actual truth interspersed with the intentionally outrageous. The articles are designed to push an on-going narrative "off track" and move it away from the truth.
This opinion on the COVID-19 coronavirus is from another person looking at things from a different, and more expansive point of view. He omits some things that I include in my calculus, such as the use of drones to propagate germ warfare, but it’s still a good look at this situation. Please give him every consideration.
The following is an article titled “China is Confronting the COVID-19 Epidemic. Was It Man-Made? An Act of of Bio-warfare?” written by Peter Koenig for Global Research on February 29, 2020. It was edited to fit this venue, but aside from that, left intact. All credit to the author.
China is Confronting the COVID-19 Epidemic. Was It Man-Made? An Act of of Bio-warfare?
The new coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, also called COVID-19, has as of this date resulted in more than 3,000 deaths and infected more than 80,000 people Worldwide, the vast majority of them in China
The epidemic is largely confined to Mainland China.
While the virus has spread to at least 51 countries according to the WHO, the numbers of confirmed cases are low: 4691 confirmed cases outside Mainland China. (See table right)
Not Addressed is that this could be a man-made virus.
Source: WHO, February 28, 2020. 51 countries according to WHO
What western media fails to address is that there is a probability that the virus could have been man-made in one or more of the numerous US bio-warfare laboratories.
Western media also are silent about the fact that the virus appears to be largely affecting ethnic Chinese, meaning, it targets specifically Chinese DNA.
Also not addressed is that this virus initially targeted Asians exclusively.
Almost all of the deaths and confirmed cases in the 51 countries and territories to which the virus has spread, are of Chinese origin.
The virus appears to be strengthening, as it mutates over time, making its control even more difficult. Will it eventually break the “Chinese DNA boundaries” and affect also other DNA types, i.e. western “Caucasian” people.
The West expects the Chinese to control the spread and limit it to China.
But the west also expects Chinese scientists and bio-researchers to overcome the epidemic and stop the virus from further mutating, therefore reducing the western infection risk.
Finding a Vaccine.
Despite early hopes that a vaccine may be found soon – until now there has been little progress in this direction. However, Cuba’s antiviral Recombinant Interferon Alpha 2B (IFNrec) was chosen by Chinese medical and bio-researchers to combat the coronavirus.
Interestingly, Interferon had been discovered in Cuba 39 years ago, at the very onset of Cuba’s biotechnology programme in 1981. But it is not widely used in the world, even though it could save countless lives and cure countless patients (mainly diabetics), simply because of the US boycott that does not allow marketing of medication Made in Cuba.
This could be an act of biological warfare.
Nevertheless, the COVID19 infection rate seems to have been gradually declining in the last three weeks. And there is no doubt that China will overcome this epidemic. Yet, the world must wake up to the fact that this could be an act of biological warfare.
Precedents: Bird Flu, African Swine Flu affecting China
In the last two years, since 2018 alone, China was hit by several types of bird flu (H7N4 and H7N9) in 2018 and yet another strain just in January 2020 which was overshadowed by the more serious COVID-2019.
There was also an outbreak of the African swine Flu (2018), killing millions of pigs.
Propagated by drones. These advanced and technically advanced drones sprayed the virus over the widely isolated pig farms. Not talked about in the Western media, but well known in China.
And there was a massive food crop destruction (2019 – mostly corn and soybeans) by the so-called “armyworms”.
Compensating for the impacts on the supply of pork, corn and soybean, China resorted to importing theses commodities– and most of the imports came from the US.
An attempt to create a famine?
Were these ‘outbreaks’ which had destructive impacts on China’s economy coincidental? They have created instability, food price inflation and a dependence on imported agricultural products from the US.
The western media has been playing up the so-called Trump tariff war with China, while hidden from the limelight and in parallel, more serious warfare – bio-warfare – was going on.
These actions are being kept hidden from Americans.
In fact, little is known in the west about these previous biological attacks by the US-led west. Thus aiming at damaging massively the China’s economy…
… as well as heightening China’s dependence on imports from the US.
In addition to damaging China morally, thereby, they, the west, believe (wrongly), weakening the level of resistance.
A real war with bombs and guns, maybe nuclear, aiming at total destruction, cannot be ruled out.
The Big Picture
Let’s remember the Big Picture.
Namely that this is, in whatever way you want to turn it, a bio-war against China.
And perhaps the first step of an all-out war against China’s rising economic power…
…and foremost against China’s solid currency, the yuan which may soon take over as the world’s chief reserve currency.
This would mean the fall of the US-dollar hegemony, the only force that keeps the (American) empire alive and kicking, other than its military strength which is non-sustainable…
….as it aims only at destruction abroad…
… but leaving behind a rapidly faltering economy at home.
Precisely the same pattern brought down the Roman Empire some 2000 years ago.
Too Many “Coincidences”: The October 2019 Simulation of a High Level Pandemic
There are too many “coincidences” to conclude that this strengthened coronavirus…
… considerably stronger than SARS, the one of the 2002 / 2003 epidemic…
… ‘escaped’ a Wuhan lab by accident, or as the west would like to present it: by negligence.
First, there were the Military Olympics in October in Wuhan (18 – 27 October 2019), where about 200 American soldiers participated.
The first cases of 2019-nCoV fever were discovered about two weeks later…
… two weeks is the average gestation period from infection to outbreak.
…
Event 201
Second, there was Event 201, on October 18, 2019, at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in Baltimore, Maryland, sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Economic Forum.
(WEF – the corporatocracy representing Big Weapons, Big Pharma and Big Money), and the John Hopkins Institute.
The theme was simulating a High-Level Pandemic Exercise – and yes, the simulation produced 65 million deaths. Just a couple of weeks before the first COVID-19 victims were identified. (See below)

Lunar New Year: The Year of the Rat
And third – the timing, hitting China right on their most important Holiday, the Lunar New Year. When people are traveling, uniting with family and friends, when there are usually huge festivities with lots of people. This is an event of celebrating happiness.
All now cut short by the outbreak that put Wuhan and portions of Hubei Province, and a total of about 50 million Chinese in quarantine. And more – no shopping, no exchange of presents, no celebrations – a huge economic loss.
Not “just” coincidences
Circumstantial gut-feeling tells me, this is not a series of three coincidences. This could be (yet to be confirmed) a maliciously planned disaster.
Is this is a sinister plan carried out by a western elite to attack China’s rapidly growing economy, outpacing that of the United States?
Is it an attack on the Yuan which is also gradually replacing the US dollar as a world reserve currency?
When that (the Yuan replacing the dollar) happens the US-empire which essentially relies on dollarization is doomed.
The build-up to more harm and destruction, possibly a hot war?
Strange WHO activity…
In late January, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Director General (DG) said that the new coronavirus, COVID19, also called 2019-nCoV, was not a pandemic.
On January 30, probably on instructions from Washington, he declared the outbreak of a Global Emergency, but added on his own initiative that there were no reasons for countries to ban travel of their citizens to China.
In contradiction to WHO’s recommendation, Washington immediately issued a travel warning for US citizens not to travel to China. Many other countries followed their master, especially Europeans.
Another hit on the Chinese economy.
Cruise ships with Chinese on board are not granted docking rights. Merchandise vessels are in many countries not allowed to enter international harbors to unload their goods.
Media Propaganda
The media propaganda drums proclaim that the virus is spreading fast and will soon engulf the entire world. The culprit is China, where the virus originated. That’s what western propaganda wants you to believe.
Nobody mentions that the COVID19 virus appears to be focusing on the Chinese genome (yet to be confirmed) and that almost no westerners.
Well, if the media would talk about it, it would become clear for the entire world that the virus could not have been created or originated in China.
As China would not infect her own people.
No matter what the ridiculous Alt-Right narrative might proclaim.
And that the virus was most likely man-made and somehow transported into Wuhan.
Could it be that it was brought to Wuhan by one or more of the American participants in the military games?
Rates are declining.
The death to infection rate is about 3% in China, but has been steadily declining in the past week. The ratio is less than 1% in the several countries outside of China, where the virus was detected. Italy and Iran seem to be exceptions.
In Italy, as of this date, the official number of infected people has jumped to 400 with 12 confirmed deaths, also a death rate of 3%.
Iran with about 140 cases and 20 deaths, a 14% death rate, the highest in the world. Why? Faulty reporting, or do those who died in Iran have Chinese DNA?
In Italy, a country in the midst of the European flu season, most diseased people are elderly, according to the Health Ministry. But how precise are the tests? This is important since most symptoms of COVID19 are very similar to those of the common flu, especially for elderly people vulnerable to respiratory diseases and pneumonia.
By comparison, US deaths from in the 2019 / 2020 flu season so far are estimated at about 34,200 (CDC). Figures in Europe are probably proportionately similar. But these figures are silenced by the media.
And now Italy is building up the propaganda drama, discussing border closing, but not yet deciding, and so are France, Germany and Switzerland – the discussion is a big media hype – but so far to the question – “Shall we ban entry to travelers from Italy?” – They decided up to now, to leave borders open, as closing them would be bad for business. Though, that’s what they don’t say.
To add spice to the drama, Italy has also canceled the Venice Carnival and other public events, even closed church service and tourist attractions and monuments.
Anti-China fear.
The point is tremendous fear mongering, propagating fear from China. People in fear can easily be manipulated. It’s always been the case. Planting fear into a docile and even placid and peaceful population has always been the precursor to a call for war.
Fear, in a first round also helps isolating China, to cause as much economic damage as possible (weakening China to the point of ‘least resistance’).
Public consent for the second round, namely a hot war, will then be easy.
There is not much time, as the Chinese economy is advancing rapidly and along with it – the Yuan’s supremacy over the dollar.
Which, once recognized by the majority of the world, means the dollar hegemony is broken, and through that the US empire is broken.
For sure the US would not shy away from killing millions, hundreds of millions, just to preserve their dollar hegemony.
America.
Washington also realizes that the east, China, Russia and the rest of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is no longer dependent on the west. But could carry on with an autonomous “eastern” economy – which in itself would be an incentive for other countries in defiance of the US dictate to join the east.
The China – Russia – Iran alliance is one of the strongest “eastern axis” – which also provides full energy self-sufficiency to the eastern countries, i.e. the Shanghai Cooperation Organization or SCO.
The association of SCO and the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) comprises today about half of the world’s population and controls about a third of the world’s economic output (GDP).
Economic Damage
Nevertheless, China’s economic damage is considerable – work stoppages, limited consumption at home and in many countries a virtual ban on Chinese imports.
The stock market has dropped tremendously due to the Coronavirus outbreak and its economic consequences.
The worst may not yet be over, even if it doesn’t come to a ‘hot’ war…
… which we profoundly trust it will not.
China reacts…
To counteract this economic calamity, the People’s Bank of China (PBC – China’s Central Bank) may consider injecting quickly important amounts of money into China’s economy.
Especially targeting small and medium size enterprises, both public and private.
It would do this through China’s public banking system and other means of direct economic support…
- To cut short losses caused by the western-imposed epidemics.
- Reduce the risk of economic stagnation and.
- Reducing un- or under-employment.
- And to (once again) achieve food self-sufficiency.
- Diversify China’s suppliers and supply-chains away from the US and western US-allies.
The accent is on food self-sufficiency.
International Trade
For international trade and transfer payments, Chinas Interbank Payment System (CIPS) and the crypto-yuan is expected to gradually increase its acceptance around the world…
… and outrank the western transfer system SWIFT…
… and the US-dollar hegemony which are key instruments the United States uses to impose…
… totally illegal economic sanctions upon countries that dare insisting on their sovereignty. And refuse to submit to Washington’s pressure.
Cases in point are Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Syria, Sudan – and many more.
These US-led western efforts to weaken China’s economy are also meant to send a discouraging message to all those countries that are planning to divest their reserves and international payment methods away from the US-dollar.
The west will not succeed.
China is far more powerful than the West believes.
Even with the massive damage caused by the recent coronavirus, China’s economy is steadier and stronger than that of most western countries, especially the US.
China’s non-confrontational approach to resolve these social – health – and economic issues, will help China to overcome and isolate her aggressive adversaries.
That’s part of the 5000-year old Tao philosophy.
What this all looks like…
As the US is increasing her aggressive stance against China (and Russia) – Washington appears and acts more and more like a dying beast…
… lashing out around itself, trying to bringing down and destroying as much as possible…
… while steadily digging itself deeper into its own (economic) grave.
Sanctions left and right and bio-wars on China – threatening China by surrounding her with some 400 military bases and nuke-equipped warships and planes…
… will not create more confidence in the US, rather the contrary.
Countries and people realize that being aligned and allied with the US of A, is dangerous, can be deadly.
So, they are driven away and towards the east, rather than being attracted by the western sinking ship.
Predictions
Amazingly, western aggression will falter confronting China’s robust social and economic system…
… and more so, China’s peaceful plan to connect and build bridges between the world’s people, nations and cultures…
… through the socioeconomic development scheme of the 21st Century spanning the globe – the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), also called the New Silk Road.
A way Towards a Shared Future for Mankind.

Conclusion
I am not alone in the idea that the COVID-19 coronavirus is part of a legion of efforts used by America to thwart and suppress China’s rise. It’s pretty obvious if you look at the big picture and take off you “rose colored glasses”.
What I fear is World War III.
America is run by neocon idiots who believe the lies that they propagandize to the American people.
They are going to destroy the world, and no… America will not escaped unscathed. It will be a Genghis Khan level event. The few future survivors will crawl out of their bunkers and lament this period of time. And they will consider the current American leadership to be the greatest fools in all of humanity.
They had an opportunity to share in the bounty of the world, but instead chose to be the Lord over everything and everyone, and destroyed the entire world in the process.
Perhaps moving to either Iceland or Fiji might make sense at this time. Eh?

Bravo! Not only perceptive, but is actually backed up by observable reality.
China will win the Coronavirus round, just as it won the Tibet round, the Tiananmen Round, the Hong Kong round, the Xinjiang round (Michelet Bachelet has been called in to adjudicate).
Eighty percent of Chinese factories are back in production and supply chains will all be caught up before month’s end.
Urgent, catch-up stuff that needs to reach Europe in a fortnight to prevent production delays, is being shipped by rail. China-EU rail time has fallen from 22 days to 12, on its way to ten days.
REALLY urgent stuff is being air-freighted, with the PRC picking up 1/3 of the additional cost.
Result? China proves that it is the world’s most reliable partner.
Diplomatically, as Xi Jinping said, “There are some well-fed foreigners who have nothing better to do than point fingers at our affairs. But China does not, first, export revolution; second, export poverty and hunger; third, cause troubles for you. What else is there to say?”
Trade wise, it can be trusted to a degree few countries can. Coronavirus may yet turn out to be a feather in China’s cap.
